with works convenient to reduce the ex.

Virginia City there are placer mines. The
lower workings of Alder Gulch are all done
by Chinese companies, as to the results OF
which nothing is known. The lower bed
rock fume is operated by D. R. Beck & Co.
They have a large amount of ground and
are handling it skillfully and no doubt
making MONEY. Next above them is l.. A.

had a good water season. Quartz in and
around Virginia is in a rather backward
condition, although their feelings were
toned up a little through the sale of the
Filing & Morris property at Pony. This
sale is an established fact and will no doubt
cause Madison County to prosper, as they

and plant put in suitable to operate it in
a profitable manner and give employment
to a large number of men. Another very
sale was contaminated while l
was in Virginia. That was the Grub Stake
and Tippecanoe mines in the Red Bluff
district. The controlling interest in the
Grub Stake and all the Ti%ppecanoe claim
were purchased by J. Fl. Davey and Son.
They are well known mining men and after
a month prospecting and experimenting
feel sure that they have a process by which
they can successfully treat the very
ores of this district and save up
to a very close percentage. At least, they
are investing their money and will have q
money and men can get them there.
Our

that "money talks" is applicable to this
instance. Another favorable item is that
the New York Company mill is to be
on ore from the deepest mine owned
by Layton & Co. This is a lease made on
terms very satisfactory to both parties
and will put in employment quite a num-
Der of men and thus liven Old Virginia up
some and inspire her for renewed effort.
The last run which this company made on
own mine, the Alameda, ian eight day
run) cleaned up nearly $500. of the
value OF $25 900, a very nice
clean up. The company is compelled to
sink on their mine before they can supply
their plant with ore. Their ledge is very
narrow but seems to be correspondingly
rich. The report of
PLACER GOLD
lately published must be considerably at
fault in regard to Madison County, as one
of the bankers at Virginia informed me
that his bank had handled more gold them
selves than the county was credited with
producing, and be was frank enough to say
that he did not think that his house had
handled quite half of the real product OF the
county. can see no excuse for errors OF
this kind, for by going to the banks and
taking the amount of dust purchased by
them a close approximate can be reached.
Mr.. Noah Armstrong has a bond on a num-
Der OF mines in the Summit district and is
now operating ten or twelve men on the
different properties in development work.
The Bell mine, above Virginia, which was

are entertained of it's future as a large
